Thank you for reading.
“I knew you would end up like this,” Liam remarked, taking a sip of his whiskey. Aria glared at Liam. She spat, “If you’re here to make fun of me, then go away… I don’t need your sympathy.”“I’m just worried. You’ve been drinking beer like it’s water. You’re drunk,” Liam remarked. Aria scoffed and asked, “Why do you care? Are you trying to get into my pants?”Liam furrowed his eyebrows. “Do you think I’m always trying to get into someone’s pants?”“Yes!” Aria admitted. “Everyone knows the Kent heir is a manwhore.”Liam narrowed his eyes. For some reason unknown to him, he didn’t like what Aria thought of him. “I’m not a manwhore,” he said in a low voice, frowning when he thought about his past endeavours. He didn’t know why but he was starting to regret how he had lived his life. Why was he sleeping around with all those women when he got no gratification from it?“Right. And I'm a virgin. Haha!” Aria laughed and then, she began to cry. “Hey, what’s wrong?” Liam asked, looking at
Liam was unable to resist Aria. In fact, he tried hard to push her away. However, there was something about the way she felt in his arms that made it feel so natural… like she belonged there in his arms. Her scent was familiar too… it reminded him of the time he got drugged and ended up sleeping with his bodyguard. However, Aria seemed more familiar to that woman than his bodyguard ever had. Aria's face kept overlapping with the woman from that night... could Sophia have lied? She was in his bed when he woke up the next day though... Liam felt confused, however, he brushed those thoughts away and enjoyed his time with the woman in his arms. A simple kiss was all it took for Liam to lose control and take Aria right there in the backseat of his car. It was wild and hot and if they weren’t on the side of the road, he would have wanted to go on and on until morning. This was the first time he was having good sex in a long time… Aria’s body was so soft. The way she moulded into him… r
Aria got to work, trying to crack through the hacker’s computer. It was someone skilled with experience seeing how they managed to hack into the system and make it look like she did it. With such skills, an average IT professional can not easily crack the hacker's code. The hackers were confident in their skills and that's why they were bold enough to hack the system of such a large enterprise. They left no traces of their actions.However, they had never met Aria before. There was a reason she graduated with a perfect score in software engineering. There was no code that she couldn't crack. She sat on her comfortable high-end chair, typing rapidly on the keyboard. Her face was serious with a look of determination as lines of code flashed before her eyes. It didn’t take long for her to find the IP address of the hacker. After running a series of commands and bypassing basic security measures, the screen flashed with progress bars as she decrypted the information. Aria furrowed he
Claire was off from work, so she called Quinn and they went shopping at the mall. Since she had some free time, Claire wanted to get a gift for her husband to appreciate him, so she dragged her best friend to the mall to help her choose the perfect gift. “What gifts do you think men like?” Claire asked her friend as they walked around the mall. “I have no idea… doesn’t he have money already? Maybe give him something he can’t buy with money,” Quinn suggested. “I know he's rich but I still want to get him something. Maybe a watch? It will be special since it’s from me. He always gets me gifts, so I want to return the favour,” Claire remarked. They entered a jewerly shop and Claire purchased a limited edition Rolex watch for Oliver. She had it engraved with, ‘I love you, Oliver’ and had it wrapped. She then went to a clothing store and chose some clothes for him. “I know he has plenty of clothes but it would be meaningful to buy him clothes with my own money. He has an expensive tas
At the Norton estate. Harriet Norton was supervising the housekeepers on how to clean up and arrange the place as they waited to receive their special visitor. “Put the fresh flowers in the vase and place them on the coffee table.” “Quickly, Nova, you missed a spot. I want this place to be spotless. My daughter-in-law will be visiting!” “Layla, bring out our best wine. Serve it with some cheese and snacks when our special guest arrives.” “Chef Josh, make sure the dinner is delicious. I want my daughter-in-law to enjoy her meal.” After proposing to Quinn, Jake was now ready to introduce her to his parents. He didn’t tell his mother who Quinn was because he wanted to surprise her. They decided to host Quinn at the family’s estate where they have vast lands of vineyards. So, Harriet was making sure everything was in order before Quinn and Jake arrived. She was so excited to meet Jake's fiancee. Her son was finally going to settle down and give her plenty of grandbabies. It was Har
Time went by as quickly as it came. It was a Monday morning and Aria was supposed to make a presentation about the new software she had developed for the company. After many sleepless nights, she finally came up with a software that she thought would work well with the Kent Investment business model. Of course, she had to present it to the investors to get their approval and have them invest more funds into the company.She was in her office going through her presentation when her phone suddenly chimed. A smile crossed her lips when she saw that it was a message from Liam Kent. They had been going on lunch dates since that day and subsequently grew closer the more they spent time together. Aria wanted to concentrate on reading through her lines but she had to reply to the text since it was from Liam. Her heart raced when she read what he had sent. Liam: [Hey, cupcake. Are you ready for today? I believe in you!]Aria pouted as she muttered to herself, “I told him not to call me cup
“I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen. I’ll arrange for another meeting,” Liam said to the investors. One of them glanced at Liam and replied, “Mr Kent, if these are the types of employees your company has then I’m afraid I’ll have to reconsider my investment.” “Please give me some more time. I’ll give you an explanation soon,” Liam responded. A few of the investors voiced their dissatisfaction before leaving the conference room. When Only Liam and Aria were left in the room, dead silence fell upon the room. The video was still playing in the background and Aria’s heart was pounding erratically in her chest. What just happened? How could she mess up such an important meeting? Her stomach churned as guilt crept into her. “Liam, I-”“Switch off that thing and follow me to my office, now,” Liam ordered before walking out of the conference room. His face was devoid of any emotions but his jaw was clenched and his eyes were colder than usual. Aria’s heart sank beneath her feet. How did th
In Liam’s office, Liam and Aria were both naked in his secret room.Liam usually used this room to rest or sometimes sleep over if he had a lot of work to do and he had to work overtime. Aria laid on her back on the bed and Liam hovered over her. He was settled between her legs and he made sure not to crush her with his weight. His lips were on hers, kissing her passionately as his hand massaged her breasts. The two of them had been kissing for a few minutes now, all the while Liam kept caressing Aria’s soft skin. He touched and kissed her slowly, taking his time to explore her body. It was like he was trying to relish the moment. Aria moaned against Liam’s lips. Her arms were wrapped around his neck as she kissed him back with equal passion. His gentle touch made her feel like she was floating on cloud nine. At the same time, Liam felt tingles in every cell in his body. He groaned and slipped his hand under Aria’s body, grabbing her waist before flipping them over so that she wa
